I appreciate your concerns over poor deinterlacing, the last thing I want is poor PQ. OTA HD is 1080i/720p mpeg2 which is why many of us are hoping the FTV can be functional as a front end for live TV. I tried most of the major networks yesterday. I'm not a golfer but feed on CBS (1080i) was pretty good without artifacts. ABC and Fox are 720p and those played without issue as well. I have a hard drive full of random HD recordings which I'll probably test out with the Fire TV over the next few days.
